Born and raised in the West, Ani’s expertise is in public lands policy. Prior to the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA), Ani worked as a lobbyist at the Sierra Club in Washington D.C., which was preceded by work for Oregon Wild, a state-based conservation organization. At NPCA, Ani covers a diversity of natural resource policy issues ranging from the creation of new parks to wildlife management to landscape protection on our parks’ borders.
